Circe by Will Dyson

Cartoon by the Australian cartoonist and artist, Will Dyson (1880-1938). Dyson made his name on the Sydney Bulletin and then in London on the Daily Herald where his cartoons during the First World War, captured the savagery of the conflict. The Sketch describes his work, which was on exhibition at the Leicester Galleries and later compiled into a volume called, Kultur Cartoons, as pitiless where injustice, pettiness and priggery are concerned. H. G. Wells wrote of him, Mr. Dyson perceives in militaristic monarchy and national pride a threat to the world, to civilisation, and all that he holds dear, and straightaway he sets about to slay it with his pencil
